GIOVANNI CAVINO.
Giovanni Cavino, an Italian medallist, contemporary with Ben-
venuto Cellini, was born at Padua in 1499 or 1500. We know
almost nothing of his life. It is probable that his medals were all
executed in Padua, where he resided until his death in 1570. He
was buried in the church of S. Giovanni di Verdara, and for a long
time the stone bound by an iron ring, which he used in coining,
was preserved in that church. He left a son, Vincenzo, who seems
to have aided him during the last years of his life, and who prob-
ably continued to use his dies after his death.
Cavino's medals are very numerous. Many of them bear portraits
of distinguished jurists of Padua and of professors at the Uni-
versity. But his best known and most numerous works are his imi-
tations of Roman large-brass coins and medallions which are known
as "Paduans."
1 The imitation of Roman art seems from an early period to have
been traditional at Padua, which contained one of the greatest
universities of Europe. The earliest Italian medals were struck in
that city and are quite classical in style. In the case of Cavino,
this close adherence to the style of his Roman models is very
marked and it prevented him from equalling the best medallists of
his period as an artist in portrait medals. At the same time it en-
abled him to produce very perfect copies of Roman coins. In this
last work he was assisted by his friend, Alessandro Bassiano, a
scholar and antiquarian of Padua, of whom little is known, except
that he left in manuscript the' lives of the twelve Caesars. We learn
of their association from a medal struck about 1540 to commem-
orate the event (No. 79).
One hundred and twenty-two of Cavino's dies have been pre-
served and are at present in the Bibliotheque Nationale at Paris.
They were brought from Italy in the seventeenth century by Th.
Lecomte, who obtained them from the Lazzara family of Padua,
and who bequeathed them to the Abbey of Sainte Genevieve in
1670. They are described and illustrated by Claude du Molinet
in his work, entitled : Le Cabirlet de la Bibliotheque de Sainte
Genevieve. Paris, 1692, f
Cavino's imitative medals were not originally designed as forgeries,
and it was against his wishes that they were passed off as genuine
antiques. But as such many of them found their way into the most
celebrated collections of Europe and were the subjects of numerous
dissertations. Even during the present century several of them were
6 GIOVANNI CAVING.
regarded as antique by such numismatists as Mionnet and Bar-
th^lemy.
The greater number of the coins usually termed " Paduans "
are cast from moulds and are of little value and easily detected ;
but the pieces struck from Cavino's dies possess much artistic merit
and are often not readily distinguishable from ancient coins. There
are, however, several general points of difference which become ap-
parent after careful comparison with the genuine coins. The
" Paduan " is usually too round and regular, and the flan is too
thin ; the dots of the border or engrailment are large and in irreg-
ular relief ; the letters are flat and square, especially N ; M is
broad at the base and narrow at the top ; H and D are square and
heavy, and A and V are too narrow and sharp. The coins struck by
Cavino himself (the dies were used after his death) are usually
composed of red and yellow copper, poorly alloyed.
Several of Cavino's medals are found in silver ; but most of the
examples in this metal have been melted down in later times,
consequently but few of them have been preserved.
All of Cavino's medals are rare, imitative pieces as well as portrait
medals, and all are worthy of preservation as the work of an Italian
medallist of the sixteenth century.

Dia. 37 m. Zeitschrift flir Numismatik, VIII., 1881, p. 119, ills. The ob-
verse inscription is explained by a passage of Plato (Symp. 203 b. c.), where
mention is made of a mythological person called H6pof t " the way," the son
of M/7nf " Counsel," and Zeus. This Poros, married to Penia, "Poverty"
begat Eros, "Love." Plato's myth has thus been seized upon by Cavino
as a beautiful and poetic prophecy of Christ.
